ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090

In order to extract the ultimate performance from the Strix GeForce RTX 4090, we built it with cooling as our top priority. The card’s 3.5-slot design consists of a die-cast metal frame, shroud, and backplate. The ultra-rigid structure uses frames with extremely tight tolerances to prevent the PCB from sagging or warping, while still allowing for unparalleled airflow through an enlarged pass-through vent along the back of the 357mm long card.

TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090

The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 uses a die-cast unibody shroud that mates directly to an aluminum backplate to strengthen the overall structure and protect the PCB from sagging, while still offering lots of airflow. An updated 3D acrylic TUF logo along the shroud provides ARGB lighting compatible with Aura Sync, while a detachable velcro loop offers extra cable management options. A massive vent at the edge of the backplate allows even more air to flow through the fins from the larger Axial-tech fans, providing 20% more airflow than last generation’s TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Ti.

ASUS has recommended that these GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards be paired with some of its premium power supplies, such as the ROG Thor 1000P2, ROG Thor 1200P2, and ROG Loki SFX-L 1000W Platinum for small form factor builds.
